1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeIntegrase inhibitor (INI)-containing regimens are increasingly replacing protease inhibitor(PI)-containing regimens in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the determinants of the durability of INI-containing regimens after the switch. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analysed all of the people with HIV infection attending the University of Milan's Infectious Diseases Unit at Luigi Sacco Hospital who were switched from a PI- to an INI-containing regimen between April 2008 and March 2017. The probability of remaining on an INI-containing regimen was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves, and the baseline clinical predictors of INI-containing regimen durability were assessed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model.

resultsThree hundred and twelve patients were included in the analysis. The median time of observation was 21 months (interquartile range 10-36 months). The main reasons for switching from a PI-containing regimen to an INI-containing regimen were toxicities (31.4%) and simplification (31.1%). Univariate analysis revealed no difference in the probability of INI discontinuation between the patients treated with raltegravir, dolutegravir or elvitegravir (

conclusionSwitching from a PI- to an INI-containing regimen may be an option for patients under virological control. The patients switched to dolutegravir were less likely to discontinue the INI than those switched to raltegravir. Our findings support this therapeutic strategy and highlight the durability and efficacy of dolutegravir containing-regimens after switching from a PI-containing regimen.
